    Carrying extra fuel in an SUV

    Yep, Before IAN in Ft Myers, you couldn’t buy any kind of gas can anywhere… I went 36 hrs before the storm hit at 4 am and filled 5-5 gal cans in the back of the Denali and still waited in line. Drove home pretty gingerly as I was a rolling bomb. Only went 3 days without power miraculously and...

    Real Life MPG 5.3 / 6.2

    Has always killed the deal for me. Most any desirable vehicle has to have premium, and they are charging + .80 over regular in my area. Gangsters.... Diesel is +.30 over RUL and I go 40% further on it.....

    2021 Denali High Miles

    Baloney.... I have a 7-year-old Jag that only has 39K on it and it's in pristine shape and still gets annual maintenance. Same vehicle with 139K on it? I wouldn't touch it.... Which one would you rather buy used?

    Map upgrade worth it?

    I have received several OTA updates that were helpful to my native Nav system. Not sure if it updated the actual maps, but I would only do this say every 4 years or so. The roads don't change THAT much and I'm not exploring the country, so I wouldn't spend money on it...

    Illuminated GMC Emblems in Black - PN 84741563/86537580

    Mine was bad about 6 months ago and we had to get special dispensation to get one. There were only 28 of them in the entire USA….

    Duramax Vent Emblem

    Mine was the stock Duramax Emblem, and we just covered it with black film. You can still see the Duramax name thru the film reasonably well. Plus, when they don't see dual tailpipes...they know....

    Bricked Tahoe after Software Update

    Why did they not lift it and put rollers under the wheels to pull it on??

    Can I change the battery on 2021 Tahoe?

    Thats why I usually go to Sam's Club and just buy the best AGM they have available. They change them for free, know how to handle practically every battery situation, usually attach a tender that saves all your settings and 1/2 hr later you are back on the road for years. Not worth the hassle to...

    Upgrade wheels at Order time vs buy later?

    Another option is to get the best stock wheels you like and then get them black gloss powder coated. They look sharp, wear well and can have this done pretty cheaply. I did and I'm very happy !

    Rattles!

    I had that one done.... Certainly didn't hurt anything. But my rattle was in the center console wiring harness.

    Air ride issues in cold winters?

    2 years no problems, don't expect any. But they usually fall apart later in life not sooner. My Jeep GC went 6 years and still no problems with air ride in it.

    Can I change the battery on 2021 Tahoe?

    Is there any benefit to putting a tender on the terminals while changing them?

    Fuel quality at different stations

    The difference from the worst fuel (assuming uncontaminated) and the best fuel really isn’t that far. Other things had to affect your mileage. Ive used everything from the corner station to Amoco, BP, and Shell. No additives, not necessary in my book, and mileage doesn’t vary 5%. How and where I...

    Would you wait for the 2024?

    If I waited for everything I thought would be better later, I'd still be driving my old 2008 MDX. Not going to have too many more new vehicles. Buy what you like now, them get another one in 3-5 years if they are THAT much better....

    Fuel grade

    Recommended also means that if you chose not to follow the "recommendations" then GM does not have to extend you warranty if the problem you have can be traced to not following "recommendations." IE: Using another weight oil than recommended, or putting "universal" coolant in your cooling...

    Adaptive air ride question

    That’s why I got an extended warranty, air ride….it’s just one of many things that are super expensive on this vehicle. If they fall apart, I wanna be covered as long as I own it and I am.

    Bay City MI to Calhoun GA on one tank of diesel

    I’ve owned all diesel since 2004. There really isn’t any other choice for me. I know what they deliver. I know their benefits. Have never really been let down by any of them. If this vehicle didn’t have this option, I wouldn’t own it…..

    Adaptive air ride question

    Data Plan/OnStar Rear Entertainment Question

    I'm actually pretty happy with the 21 native nav. With data it functions pretty well and has received some decent upgrades and enhancements every 2-3 months. Doesn't monopolize my system like AA or ACP.

    So now GM is going to start charging us for software updates??

    While I don’t agree with it, people have to start getting out of the mindset that once they buy something anything that goes with it or improves it should be free for life. Those days are rapidly coming to a close. Within a few years, anything worth having is going to be on a pay to play...

    Data Plan/OnStar Rear Entertainment Question

    When I went to continue after my free trial, that is what was offered, and I took it but that's been 2 yrs. ago. Hasn't changed since.

    Homelink

    On my Home link I had position one programmed for my main garage door and position two for my barn garage door. I changed the opener transmitter in position ones opener and now I can’t get position one on the Home link in the vehicle to accept any new programming. Is there a way to clear out...

    DEF tank capacity = 5.4 gal

    Best way to handle DEF? 1st low level warning, dump in 2.5 and move on. Never out, never gets old. Can go at least 6 months unless towing. If towing plan on monthly fill-ups.

    Yukon Denali Duramax - Is it slow?

    The LM2 warms up faster than any diesel I have owned, and most diesels don't "Warm up" by idling. You have to work them to generate heat. Want fast heat? Plug them in or give them 15-30 sec to normalize and get going.

    Oil Filter Efficiency for Cleaner Oil

    Let's say I use a PF 66 GM filter, I would like to use a larger longer filter in its place, but I don't understand how to figure out what is a bigger filter that would fit that same filter base, is this easy to figure out?
